To sll members of the independent
people’s committees, and to the
voters of Nebraska:
It baring become evident that Mr.
Van Wyck has turned squarely
against the independent movement,
and is using his influence to defeat
the independent candidates, we rec
ommend that he be not invited to ad
dress independent meetings nor given
an opportunity to use bis unfriendly
influence. Geo. W. Biake,

New York is all right.
Wait for the Chapman-Murphy de
bate. __ _
The Son has a new political plate
editor. _ _ _
The way Crounse waded into Van
Wyek was a caution.
Notdino for the union soldier in the
independent platform.
5 Again let us call your attention to the
letter at the top of this column.
Mullen, the Idol, says no party can
dictate to him. Heap Big Boss.
Lbssiroer says he is quite well known
throughout Holt county. Yes, indeed.
Tns many Holt county friends of
Gov. TMtyer sympathize with him sin
cerely in the death o! his wife.
*;\ What would Me Too Henry do in the.
legislature without Boss Mullen ? Best
way is to leave them both at home.
■ A Vote in Nebraska for Weaver Is in
reality a vote for Cleveland, and yet
some old soldiers propose to vote for
Weaver.
Sir, Lynch, located on the east side of
; Boyd county, has a neat six column
newspaper to advocate the interests of
that promising town.
The Independent devotes most of its
space last week to Doc Mathews with
~ out saying anything very bad. Lessin
ger was evidently trying to be brave.
I.s 4 . --
Three times in succession before the
people for office. The Idol has a heap
of assurance if he thinks tpe voters will
not grow weary of these repeated efforts
M, to Mullenise them.
Tub Atkinson Plsindeslet is the only
.'• democratic paper in the county. At
' least it is the only paper that talks
straight democracy, und advises its
readers to vote tor the democratic can
didates, including elects rs.
Sat, Mister Mullen, do you notice that
the independents are not bending quite
so low as they did when your majestic
form looms upT A little bit chilly, eh?
But then as you are so much bigger than
yonr party perhaps you do not notice
these little things.
Clark and Eisele compare very favor
ably with the other nominees for repre
sentatives, considered every way, and
are by far the moat capable. Send them
to Lincoln and Holt county will be fairly
and honestly represented and no calam
ity bowling about it.
ft , Jo Bartley's election is pretty certain.
That he will run away ahead of his
ticket in Holt county is conoeded. and
from recent advice we are lead to believe
he will lead in nearly every county in
the Elkborn valley. And in Omaha—
well, just watch his vote in Omaha.
Ip you think Jo tinnier isn't making
friends and votes Just pnt poor ear to
the ground and listen to the rumblings
from the country. Jo is a dead sore
winner. ^
The Joint debates between Judge
Cronnse and General Vac Wyrlt have
demonstrated that the republican >s more
than a matcb for the wily independent.
Uufourtunately Judge Crounse is dis
abled by illness and has been compelled
to cancel a few engagements. It is ex
acted he will soon be ready for busi
ness again.
J ake a look at the magnificent build
ing now approaching completion and to
be uaed aa a chicory factory, fit in your
mind the fact that if it were not for the
McKinley bill thia industry never would
have been established, and then let us
axle you bow can you vote against the
republican party, the protector of Just
uich infant industries aa this. This is
in object lesson that speaks very em
phatically.
It must be that the writer is being
punisbed for all the sins of commission
ind omission of a lifetime, political and
[itberwise. For most of the time for six |
weeks be has been obliged to remain in
hed or chair, losing nearly thirty pounds
L>f flesh, until he has grown desperate.
He has about decided to go up to Hot
Springs and associate with the nasty '
water, Mike Flannigan, Ed. Kelley,
Barney Mullen and Judge Cleveland.
This will either kill or cure.
Lemixobr, the man who cannot tell
the truth, asks why we offered “to make
it an object to a certain man if he would
use his influence to keep Mullen from
being nominated?" Well, as we did not
offer to make it an object to anyone or j
anything of the kind we cannot answer
the “why.” We preferred the nomina
tion of Lessfnger or Coppic and so talked,
but never felt any fear of Mullen, of
whose nomination we felt assured for
weeks before the convention was held.
Tub Atkinson Plaindealer says Mul
len and bis friends have circulated the
report that Stewart had withdrawn as a
candidate for senator. No doubt that
Mullen will make thia kind of a play
whenever he can. He tried to get the
democrats to indorse him instead of
nominating Stewart, and was very much
broken up when they refused to do it.
It required gall to ask democratic sup
port after the way he had treated demo,
crats, but Mullen’s gall is only exceeded
by his cheek.
--
WniTEitKAD was too easy on Rem at
the outset of the campaign bflt he has
found that the beat way to deal with the
man with a bad eye is to jump right on
to him. and be is doing it In good shape.
Kem is made to squirm and squeal at
every meeting. His record in congress
is so damnable that he cannot explain it
away, and hundreds of independents are
becoming disgusted and coming out
boldly and deuounclng him. In some
localities the defections are alarming the
independents, but they cannot stem the
tide.
The Mullens (beg pardon the inde
pendents) are not adding very many new
recruits to their ranks. And did you
notice that the enthusiasm among the
Mullens was not so very vociferous
lately? Of course on that great Satur
day when the bad-eyed Kem was here
some of ’em got. pretty full of poor
whiskey and made some noise, but then,
as a rule the Mullens look despondent
and sad. When they throw off the Mul
len yoke, which a good many are doing,
they brace up wonderfully, look bright
and even happv.
Tiib writer was much impressed with
the dramatic scene in the national
democratic convention when Bourke
Cochrane exclaimed in his now cele
brated speech: "But there are 30,000
democratic soldiers votes in New York
that Grover Cleveland tannot get.” • At
this old Gen. Dan Sickles, himself a
delegate, arose on his crutches and
shouted. “Never, no never!” And
now that Gen. Sickles advises his com
rades not to vote for Cleveland itdetnon
strates the integrity and patriotism of
the man. Every effort has been made
to Induce the general to support Cleve
land. or at least to keep quiet, but he
positively says: “No old union soldier
should vote for a man who sent a substi
tute to fight for him.”
T. V. Powdebly has been quoted by
Lbe democratic national committee in
such an unfair way that it made him
mad, and he says: “The republican
party has been charged with being the
party of plutocracy, of wealth and mo
nopoly, but the democratic party has the
supreme gall to assume, with an air of
patronising ownership, the privilege of
dictating just how workingmen shall
vote. It claims to be the party of the
poor man, I guess that ought to be, for
the poor have given it the strength to
live long enough to see its candidate for
the presidency write against free silver
at the dictation of Wall street, long j
enough to see its national convention
frame dishonest declarations in favor
of wildcat banks, long enough to see the
principal actors on its boards squirm and
shift with every wind to catch the votes
of poor men. Yes,
party is the parly for tl
if he continubs to voti
will never be anything

Lew Chapman a nil Tom Golden are
lawyers and educated gentlemen, either
is capable of filling tbe position of county
attorney with credit, and the republican j
and democratic parties have no cause to
blush for their candidates. But the can- j
didate of tbe Mullens, He Murphy, is
notoriously incompetent in every way
and has no right to set himself up as an
attorney at law, except that he has been
admitted to the bar. Any one at all
posted knows this is done without muclm
regard to legal learning. Murphy Is a?
ignorant fellow and it would be a dis
grace to tbe county to select him as its
attorney. The Frontier cannot be
lieve the people have quite gone crazy,
and consequently looks for Murphy’s de
feat.
The national independent platform is
a queerly constructed affair. While it
caters for rotes in near’y every direction
tbera is one remarkable exception.
There is nothing in it favoring thq pen
sioning of the anion soldier. This is not
an over sight by any means. At the time
of the Omaha convention it was expected
that some of the southern states would
break loose from democratic control and
go into the independent column, and the
new party dare not declare in its plat
form in favor of granting aid to the
northern veteran. Then, too, Gen. Field,
being an ex-con federate brigadier, would
not consent. And there are old soldiers
in the north, in Nebraska, in Holt
county, who are shouting for Weaver
and Field. How these men can delib
erately walk up and vote such a ticket is
beyond understanding. When it comes
to the pinch we doubt whether very
many of them wilt do it.
To say the least the Butte Free Lance
takes a decidedly peculiar position
with regard to the choice of Jo Hunter
as a.candidate fur state senator. This
paper claims to be republican, its editor
was a delegate in the convention that
nominated Hunter and appeared to be
agreeable in making his nomination
unanimous, and then to go home and
belly-ache, whine, abuse and threaten
Holt county republicans has a boyish ap
pearance. In fact Donbam, if he is act
ing wholly on his own responsibility,
proves himself unfit to be at the head of
a party paper. His course is not politic
or sensible, and certainly cannot be ap
proved by the republicans of Boyd
county. He is doing an injury to Mr.
Sample in particular because some peo
ple who do not know him will be led to
believe he sanctions such a silly course.
Of coarse those who know Sam Sample
realize that he does not countenance it,
and no doubt will be as indignant as
anyone else.
Tng Frontier has repeatedly dep
recated the fact that in O’Neill there
were so large a number of tough kids,
and has urged parents to draw the
reins tighter. The worst feature is per
mitting boys from eight to fifteen years
of age to run the stieets nights. If
parents cannot or will not control their
boys the city officials should take a
hand in aiding by compelling them to
keep off the streets after a reasonable
hour. The throwing of eggs during the
political street corner speaking last
Saturday night shows what the kids
will do if permitted to exercise their
own sweet will. It is very fortunate
indeed that the guilty ones haye been
found out—fortunate because they de
serve punishment and fortunate because
it removes any suspicion of being a
political act. This paper is a friend of
the boys at all times, and it is
only for their good that it has so often
spoken so plainly. It is to be hoped a
lesson has been taught that will be. pro
ductive of much good.
The following, taken from a .Valley
county paper, will make some republi
cans up this way smile, especially the
ones who supposed Van Wyck was Rob
bins candidate:
"When 1 was elected to the senate six
years ago,” said A. M. Robbins in a re
cent sperch, "I was requested by my
friends and constituents not to accept a
pass from the railroad' company. I
promised that I would not. Faithful to
my pledge, when the senate convened, I
packed my grip, boarded the train for
Lincoln and paid my fare. During the
session I had occasion to attend to some
personal business at home, and when I
went home and when I returned, I paid
my fare. When times grew exceedingly
interesting over railroad matters in the
assembly, the good people of Valley
county met and appointed a committee
to come down to Lincoln to watch me
and my colleague, to see that we did our
duty, to pat us on the back, as it were,
and brace us up. That committee rode
to Lincoln on passes. The chairman of
that committee was W”. M. Gray, present
candidatefor this senatorial district, and
he rode on pass number "0 49.” The
passes were furnished them by' C. H.
Van Wyck, their candidate for senator.”
It is a notorious fact that J. P. Mullen
last year took the surest way to secure
the nomination -for treasurer, even al
luding to himself as the Idol of his
party. This year any man who attended
the independent county convention
could see very plainly that Mullen
was pulling every string to bring
about his nomination for senator. He
played and posed and talked in season
and out of season during the entire af
ternoon, and when the vote for repre
sentatives was taken be evidently took
it for granted he had been nominated
when he had not and declined. “Mul
len wants the senatorial nomination”
was on every spectator’s lips, and it ap
peared to be an understood thing among
MMlen’s strikers. Why, Judge Roberts
gave the soap away when he said. “we
hare something better for Mr. Mullen.”
That Mullen was an aggressive candidate
nearly every spectator believed, and his
nomination was conceded the night be
fore the senatorial convention met. Con
sequently no surprise was manifested
when tbe Idol was nominated, and was
on bawd to accept as a matter of course.
We make this statement because tbe
[truthful Independent says "any man is
a liar who savs Mullen ever asked a nom
ination.” Mullen is really smarter than
the rank and file of bis patty, and knows
bow to work the boys to a t. y. t.
YAH WYCK’S RECORD.
Ia 1879, when bouse roll 184 was up
in the state senate for consideration, re
lating to rates of interest, Mr. Norval
moved to amend to reduce the rate to 8
per cent. Mr. Van Wyck yoted “No.”
Senate Journal P.038.
In congress on the 8tb day of June,
1868, Van Wyck voted ‘’Aye” to refer,
(and so bury and kill) Holman's resolu
tion to tax U nited States bonds.—Ceng.
Globe 40, Cong. 2d Sess. P.2936.
Holman said: “Of course every gen
tleman knows that tne reference of.tbis
resolution will kill it,"and it did kill it.
Van Wyck helped.
Van Vyck “dodged” the vote on the
resolution to pay tbe 5-20 U.S.bonds in
the same kind of money “with which the
government paid the soldiers who fought
tbe battles of tbe war.” (Cong. Globe,40
th Cong. 2nd Sess.P.25Tl.)
. ROSEWATER ON CROUNSE.
Editor Rosewater delivered a speech
at Blair last week in which be thus
referred to tbe republican candidate
for governor:
“No man has been nearer an ideal
representative than be has been in the
past. He was one of the men who first
felt that the grasp of the corporations
should be loosened somewhat. He was
on the floor of congress battling these
corporations almost alone and it was be
cause be made such a fight against them
that be did net go to the Uuited States
senate. The republicans of the state
have awakened to a realization of what
the party has failed to do in the past and
what it needs to do in the future, and
they have selected a man to lead them
whose election promises many things of
tbe utmost importance to the state. I
believe that^ the good, level-headed
sense of the people will see the differ
crence between demogagoUm and by
pocrisy on one band and sterling worth
and integrity on tbe other. I have been
r. friend of Gen. Van Wyck for years
and am still bis personal friend, but
when he espoused the rattle-brained
ideas that his party uow advocates I am
not with him. As I told him yesterday,
in peace we are friends and in war we
are enemies.' It may as well be known
now as later that he 'is said to be the
preferred candidate of at least one of the
big railroad corporations of this state,
and prehaps of several of them. He can
make terms with the railroad when they
Want terms made, but they can’t make
terras with the candidate of the republi
can parly.”
SILLY STUFF.
The republicans appointed Joe Hun
ter &s candidate forstate senator in place
of Uoc Mathews resigned. Now the
scheme is to trade Hunter for Jo Hartley.
The democrats, that is all of them that
will be brought into line by the crack of
the party lash, will have to vote for Joe
Bartley, and those of the republicans
that can be worked the same way will
have to vote for Stewart for senator.
Therefor the independents have got them
both to fight on state senator; but let
'urn come we are equal to the occasion.
—People’s Advocate. Ewing.
These independent newspapers evolve
some great schemes, and presume to
know just what the republicans and
democrats are goiug to do, but of all the
damphool statements so far promulgated
the above takes the cake. Trade Hun
ter in Bartley’s interest? Well, we guess
not, mister. The republicans are not on
the trade, but if they were Hunter would
be the last man traded. His election is
of vastly more importance to the repub
lican party than is Bartley’s, and no good
republican would for a fraction of a
second entertain a trading proposition
of the kind referred to.
The Frontier desires at this time to
assure the independents that Jb Hunter
was put up to defeat Jim Pig Mullen,
the self-appointed Idol of his party, the
chronic office seeker and inflated Boss.
The independent papers know this, but
hope to make people think otherwise by
publishing such silly rot as the above.
And Idol Mullen knows the fight is on
dead sure, and if his head is not too
thick he must begin to realize that cer
tain defeat awaits him Nov. 8. The fact
must begin to permeate his cranium that
the people are getting just a little tired
of his Dersistent efforts to get office.
No, Jo Hunter will not be traded in
any man’s interest. If the independents
think so let them try it and they will
find they are mistaken.
FOREIGNERS FOR CLEVELAND.
The foreign newspapers are unani
mous in talking for Cleveland, and
agree that the only salvation for foreign
manufacturers is the success of democ
racy in the United States. We make a i
few quotations:
London Engineering: “The hopes of
the democrats for the approaching presi
Si.’s?0- °re urge,y *—*»
London Evening News and Post: “A
republican victory at the polls in No
vember would be a blow to the free
rade party in the states and would re
tard for a considerable period the pro
gress of tho8e commercial and economic
doctrines, which underlie British com
“tercial greatness and can tlone main
tain British commercial ascendancy.”
Kublow's Berlin "Get man Trade Re
view:” It is thought that the vote of
the elector* will shortly destroy McKin
ley’s work in the immense Transatlantic
Union, will dispense with the password
of "America for Americans,” and, by
giving a splendid victory to the demo
cratic party, will open a free path to
our export trade. These are the hopes
which have roused so' much interest
throughout Saxony in the result of the
next election for the preiidtnt of the
United States. Articles which are cheap
in price but very largely consumed can
not be produced so cheaply in the Uni
ted States as in Germany, owing to the
high price of wages.”
London Times, July 30: Englishmen
can feel little sympathy for either of the
parties engaged in this ignoble stiuggle,
but undoubtedly our interests as a trad
ing community must make us wisa suc
cess to the democrats, who now for the
first time go to the polls as the avowed
champions of free trade, rather than to
the authors and defenders of the medi
teval McKinley bill.
London Graphic: “Englishmen will
watch Mr. Cleveland's campaign with
cordial sympathy, for not only is his
tariff policy in accord with the orthodox
economic school of England, but this
party platform wisely condemned the
arrogant and irritating foreign policy of
its opponents.”
Paris Journal des Debats: “The con
vention ought to be congratulated upon
its choice. Everything promises that
Cleveland will be elected. His oppo
sition to extreme protection makes us
hope that he will succeed."
Liverpool Journal of Commerce:
"The democratic party in the states
may rest assured that, if English sym
pathy could carry Grover Cleveland in
November, the White House would be
theirs. We shall watch the development
of the struggle with the keenest interest
and even if the triumph be not attained
all at once, there is indeed reason for
congratulation that one of the great
American parties has made free-trade
pure and simple, the battle cry of the
future.”

tion is a matter for the most earnest consid
eration of ever person of ordinary common
sense. Remember that a lense decentered
